to be continued......

so as of my last post, my knee still hurts, and more so than before, i have tried to run with no success and am awaiting a dr's visit on friday.....i spoke with a physical therapist who felt it was just a sprain, she gave me some pointers on what to do, and suggested a week off. i did all that, went to run on monday, exactly a week off, which was hard enough to wait that long, and got about a mile in. the knee hurts more than it did prior and i felt it enough to shut it down until i get to the dr. i called the dr and they didnt have an appt until next thursday!!!!! by the grace of god and friendship i got an appt with a different dr for tomorrow morning at 8:45am, thank god for friends....seth's wife works for a doctor's office and they hooked it up, shout out to both of you and many, many thanks. the training has been hard enough and now to not be training knowing the race is only 7 weeks away only makes it tougher.  unless the dr says there is damage or i need surgery i will not quit, trust me.  i may now be more behind than i wanted to be, but there is no quit in this kid.  thanks to all who i have had talks with that have helped me stay strong.....of course tamara, pops, seth, jerry, the list goes on and on.....i will keep everyone posted as to what the dr says. i have got to stay positive though, because positive thoughts breed positive results....and, thats what shawn kept saying every day through his struggle and until his last days.....miss you brotha, keep me grounded and strong i am gonna need it these last few weeks of training......
